Q: Spoke in English but words are translated in Indonesian

Is there a problem with the app? I tried to do a simple note taking, spoke in English, however the words came out in Indonesian. If i translate back to English, it gives me what I spoke into the app. I am using iOS by the way.

A: Hi, thanks for the question.

Could you please try to open the note that wasn't transcribed correctly, then tap on the menu and set the speaker's language to English?

To avoid this in the future, please feel free to set the speaker's language in the app settings from automatic to English.

Would that help? 🙏

Yup it does, but does that mean the auto detect language doesn't work as well? It does translate properly when I speak in Chinese.

Language detection is probabilistic and might be wrong sometimes, especially when it comes down to if a speaker speaks in a non-native language.
